Remember Young Poo From K3G? This Is Where She Is At Right Now

Malvika Raaj gained praise for her role as young Poo, a character played by Kareena Kapoor, in the popular Bollywood film Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham and now after years she is all set to make her debut as a lead actor.

In the upcoming film titled Squad, Raaj will be seen opposite Danny Denzongpa's son Rinzing Denzongpa. The film will be released on OTT platform Zee5.

Malvika Raaj took to her official social media handle on Friday and shared the poster of her film. The caption under her post read, "Is Baar Ladayi desh ke liye nahi, Desh ki beti ke liye hai (This time, the battle is not for India but India’s daughter). India fights for its greatest pride, SQUAD trailer drops on Monday. #SquadOnZee5 #squad."

In an interview with Hindustan Times, the actor revealed that she stayed away from Bollywood for so long so that she could concentrate on her education. She said, "Acting would have really distracted me in my schooling days. I didn’t want to be one of those child actors who drops out of school. If I was a brilliant student, then probably my parents would have allowed me to act."

As per reports, the film has been directed by Nilesh Sahay. The film has a little girl at the centre of it who has lost everything in life. With that, the film is going to explore the battle between national special forces. Apart from Raaj and Denzongpa, the film has also starred Amit Gaur, Pooja Batra and Mohan Kapur in pivotal roles. The film has been bankrolled by Zee Studios and Indian Media Entertainment.

The makers have announced that the film will release on the OTT platform on November 12 this year. The male lead of the film in his statement said, "We’ve seen everything through this film - extreme weather and logistic issues due to restrictions during the pandemic but yet we were more on top. I’m proud to have this as my debut film and it’s been an honour working with Nilesh. I am truly looking forward to the audience experiencing the spectacle that Squad is,” he said.
